Novak Djokovic too hot to handle for Kevin Anderson

Novak Djokovic scored his first Grand Slam victory in more than two years by beating South Africa’s Kevin Anderson to win his fourth Wimbledon title. Anderson had grabbed a lot of eyeballs after beating Roger Federer, but found Novak Djokovic too tough to handle.

Djokovic, seeded 12th, won 6-2 6-2 7-6 (7-3) to claim a 13th Slam – his first major since the 2016 French Open. Djokovic soon took control to win the opening set in 29 minutes, breaking twice more in the second set.
